Battlefield 6 has revealed its final system requirements shortly before its release, along with a pleasant surprise for many players.
Battlefield 6 has shown its final system requirements shortly before its release. And the pleasant surprise for many players: Battlefield does not necessarily require upscaling software like DLSS and not FSR, but recommends it only at the highest graphics setting.
Because the aggressive use of upscaling has already been criticized within the community for a long time.
Battlefield 6 does without upscaling techniques like DLSS and FSR at the first three levels
What exactly is being criticized by players? Many games now rely on upscaling technologies to improve the frame rate in the game. At first, DLSS and FSR were considered miracle technologies, enabling players with older graphics cards to achieve a few more FPS.
However, that has changed significantly. Nowadays, some games no longer offer a native resolution but directly rely on such upscaling options from the start because otherwise the game would not run smoothly even on mid-range graphics cards. Players have long criticized this trend, complaining about so-called “fake frames”: images generated by AI or software that they believe are not real at all.
What does all this have to do with Battlefield 6? For Battlefield 6, however, the final requirements look surprisingly different: At the first three levels (Minimum to Ultra), the shooter can be played according to EA at native resolution. Only at the highest setting “Ultra++” does it then require DLSS and frame generation for more than 240 FPS at 4K resolution.
On Reddit, the excitement is accordingly high, as Battlefield could finally be a shooter that offers decent optimization:
Specification requirements that show what frame rate we can expect at which resolution and settings in native mode excite me greatly.
Another user explains in the linked thread: “I haven’t seen many complaints about performance issues in the BF6 beta, and people have praised the optimization,” and another adds:
Probably the best optimization I’ve seen in a long time for a game. I believe I’ve only heard of two crashes from everyone I know who has played it, and that during a beta test.
Many games have failed due to poor optimization
In the past, numerous games have failed for this reason, just to name a few examples:
- Borderlands 4 was a technical disaster at launch and still suffers from problems.
- Monster Hunter Wilds is still struggling with technical issues around 8 months after release. Another problematic game from Capcom is Dragon’s Dogma 2, which still does not run stably today.
- Star Wars: Jedi Survivor also launched moderately on Steam, because the optimization for PC was so poor. EA has been diligently patching, but according to players, some problems still persist today.
The list of problematic games could go on indefinitely. However, it is clear that smoothly functioning games have rarely been the norm. And a game like Battlefield now gives players hope that they might be spared from technical issues.
